Light Up! And Lamps (For This Week's Creative Tuedays)

Hi Everybody,

I am about to get this in, just in time!

Many of you guys know I work in bright color often, but I also work darker and in black and white. Here are a couple of quick comic panels. The lamp falls in the first panel, and is reflected in the highlights of the eyes of its horrified owner in the next panel. I had fun playing with the ideas of lamps and illumination/light, as well as reflecting an actual lamp in someone's POV and eyes.

Please check out the work and submit some yourself at Michael/Mister Toast's Blog below:

That's a really great idea, Donna, and especially looks great when you click on the image to see it larger and indeed see that reflection in her eyes. Yes, I know you love colour but I also really enjoy your black and white comic type illustration panels too, this being one of them.

So glad you made this under the wire and got it in on time. You and a few others, I might add! Wheeeee! thank you for taking the time to do this. Wonderful lamp too, btw. Love that style! :)

Are you OK, Donna? Not only have we not seen you around, visiting others on CT as you normally would but you haven;t posted here in a while. We care about you and want to make sure you are doing ok. Please email us or let us know here. Thinking of you and missing you on blogland--your wit, writing, art and photos!

Hello There! About Me

Here's my blog! When I've the time, I post here. Sometimes writing and random thoughts, but mostly with updates on projects, art fairs, and submissions to the many cool art challenges online.
I'm a New Yorker, who loves London, who lives in Los Angeles. Otherwise, I am an artist, illustrator, and freelance writer who is also a "cardtoonist." Which means, I create handmade cartoon cards- and often caption them with puns inside.
